Getting ready for a Mihi Whakatau

In Term 3 we welcome all the new students and their whānau to Worser Bay School with a Mihi Whakatau. This is a Māori welcome that is like a pōwhiri but a bit smaller and shorter.

We have been busy practising waiata and haka with Mātua Hēnare. We work hard to learn all the new moves and the words.

We use Zest, Perseverance and Love of Learning to help us.

Some of us get to be kapa haka leaders for the session and tell everyone when to start. This is how we practise using Leadership.
